Okay so...I took a practice test on Saturday night and somehow got a 176, which is WAY higher than my average score of 169. I have been working pretty hard on RC and only missed 1 question on this particular test. IS THIS A FLUKE?!?!

Don't look at it as a fluke, look at it as your hard work paying off. Take another PT, score well on RC again, and confirm that it was in fact not a fluke

Most of the time I can pull out my top score on 2/4 of the sections but mess up the other two, and for some reason on this test they all went as well as possible, so I'm trying to figure out how to harness that energy for the actual thing.

Thats just an evolution of your testing stamina. Instead of being drained or not 100% focused on two you were able to capitalize on this in all sections. In my experience, as you have done more PTs this comes more into fruition. Just keep PTing and youll increase your consistency.

Holy moly - there was a difficult pattern game, had time to figure it out. It wasn't inherently hard but to work it out required more time than I had. Also is there anyone else that thinks some of the older LR stimuli make absolutely no sense when you read them? I had a few cases were I genuinely had no idea WTF they were even trying to get across. Happy about RC tho!
